Lawyer and human rights advocate David Shannon examines the issues of equality and the promotion of dignity for persons with a disability. As a person with quadriplegia (the result of a spinal cord injury at age 18), David offers much more than an academic perspective to the issues. He identifies the social and attitudinal barriers still present in Canadian society today, and suggests what is needed to reverse the process of exclusion.
